The principles of real property law shall apply to this liquidated damages provision.

13.2 In the event of a default or misrepresentation by Seller, Purchaser shall have such remedies as Purchaser is entitled to at law or in equity, including specific performance, because the Unit and possession thereof cannot be duplicated.

Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing pursuant to ¶16 to remove any such Liens and Judgments. Failure by Purchaser to

timely deliver such search or continuation search shall not constitute a waiver of Seller’s covenants in ¶ 4 as to Liens and Judgments. However, if the Closing is adjourned solely by reason of untimely delivery of the Lien and Judgment search, the apportionments under ¶11.3 shall be made as of 11:59 P.M. of the day preceding the Scheduled Closing Date in ¶1.15

in ¶2.1 in accordance with this Contract for any reason other than Seller’s failure to make a required payment or other willful act or omission, then Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing for periods

not exceeding 60 calendar days in the aggregate, but not extending beyond the expiration of Purchaser’s Loan Commitment Letter, if ¶¶1.20.1 or 1.20.2 applies.

16.2If Seller does not elect to adjourn the Closing or (if adjourned) on the adjourned date of Closing Seller is still unable to perform, then unless Purchaser elects to proceed with the Closing without abatement of the

Purchase Price, either Party may cancel this Contract on Notice to the other Party given at any time thereafter.

16.3In the event of such cancellation, the sole liability of Seller shall be to cause the Contract Deposit to be refunded to

18FINANCING PROVISIONS

18.1 The provisions of ¶¶18.1 and 18.2 are applicable only if ¶¶1.20.1 or 1.20.2 applies.

18.1.1An “Institutional Lender” is any of the following that is authorized under Federal or New York State law to issue a loan secured by the Shares and Lease and is currently extending similarly secured loan commitments in the county in which the Unit is located: a bank, savings bank, savings and loan association, trust company, credit union of which Purchaser is a member, mortgage banker, insurance company or governmental entity.

18.1.2A “Loan Commitment Letter” is a written offer from an Institutional Lender to make a loan on the Financing Terms (see ¶1.21) at prevailing fixed or adjustable interest rates and on other customary terms generally being offered by Institutional Lenders making cooperative share loans. An offer to make a loan conditional upon obtaining an appraisal satisfactory to the Institutional Lender shall not become a Loan Commitment Letter unless and until such condition is met. An offer conditional upon any factor concerning Purchaser (e.g. sale of current home, payment of

outstanding debt, no material adverse change in Purchaser’s financial condition, etc.) is a Loan Commitment Letter whether or not such condition is met. Purchaser accepts the risk that, and cannot cancel this Contract if, any condition concerning Purchaser is not met.

18.2Purchaser, directly or through a mortgage broker registered pursuant to Article 12-D of the Banking Law, shall diligently and in good faith:

18.2.1apply only to an Institutional Lender for a loan on the Financing Terms (see ¶1.21) on the form required by the Institutional Lender containing truthful and complete information, and submit such application together with such documents as the Institutional Lender requires, and pay the applicable fees and charges of the Institutional Lender, all of which shall be performed within 5 business days after the Delivery Date;

18.2.2promptly submit to the Institutional Lender such further references, data and documents requested by the Institutional Lender; and

18.2.3accept a Loan Commitment Letter meeting the Financing Terms and comply with all requirements of such Loan Commitment Letter (or any other loan commitment letter accepted by Purchaser) and of the Institutional Lender in order to close the loan; and

18.2.4furnish Seller with a copy of the Loan Commitment Letter promptly after Purchaser’s receipt thereof.

18.2.5Purchaser is not required to apply to more than one

Institutional Lender. 18.3 If ¶1.20.1 applies, then

18.3.1provided Purchaser has complied with all applicable provisions of ¶18.2 and this ¶18.3,

Purchaser may cancel this Contract as set forth below, if:

18.3.1.1any Institutional Lender denies Purchaser’s application in writing prior to the Loan Commitment Date (see ¶1.21); or

18.3.1.2a Loan Commitment Letter is not issued by the Institutional Lender on or before the Loan Commitment Date; or

18.3.1.3any requirement of the Loan Commitment Letter other than one concerning Purchaser is not met

(e.g. failure of the Corporation to execute and deliver the Institutional Lender’s recognition agreement or other document, financial condition of the Corporation, owner occupancy quota, etc.); or

18.3.1.4(i) the Closing is adjourned by Seller or the Corporation for more than 30 business days from the Scheduled Closing Date and (ii) the Loan Commitment Letter expires on a date more than 30 business days after the Scheduled Closing Date and before the new date set for Closing pursuant to this paragraph and (iii) Purchaser is unable in good faith to obtain from the Institutional Lender an extension of the Loan Commitment Letter or a new Loan Commitment Letter on the Financing Terms without paying additional fees to the Institutional Lender, unless

Seller agrees, by Notice to Purchaser within 5 business days after receipt of Purchaser’s Notice of cancellation on such ground, that Seller will pay such additional fees and Seller pays such fees when due. Purchaser may not object to an adjournment by Seller for up to 30 business days solely because the Loan Commitment Letter would expire before such adjourned Closing date.

18.3.2Purchaser shall deliver Notice of cancellation to Seller within 5 business days after the Loan Commitment Date if cancellation is pursuant to ¶18.3.1.1 or 18.3.1.2 and on or prior to the Scheduled Closing Date if cancellation is pursuant to ¶18.3.1.3 or 18.3.1.4.

18.3.3If cancellation is pursuant to ¶18.3.1.1, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, together with Purchaser’s Notice, a copy of the Institutional Lender’s written denial of Purchaser’s loan application. If cancellation is pursuant

to ¶18.3.1.3, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller together with Purchaser’s Notice evidence that a requirement of the Institutional Lender was not met.

18.3.4Seller may cancel this Contract by Notice to Purchaser, sent within 5 days after the Loan Commitment Date, if

Purchaser shall not have sent by then either (i) Purchaser’s Notice of cancellation or (ii) a copy of the Loan Commitment Letter to Seller, which cancellation shall become effective if Purchaser does not deliver a copy of such Loan Commitment Letter to Seller within 10 business days after the Loan Commitment Date.

18.3.5Failure by either Purchaser or Seller to deliver Notice of cancellation as required by this ¶18.3 shall constitute a waiver of the right to cancel under this ¶18.3.

18.3.6If this Contract is canceled by Purchaser pursuant to this ¶18.3, then thereafter neither Party shall have any further rights against, or obligations or liabilities to, the other by reason of this Contract, except that the Contract Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser and except as set forth in ¶12. If this Contract is canceled by Purchaser pursuant to ¶18.3.1.4, then Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any non- refundable financing and inspection expenses and other sums reimbursable pursuant to ¶16

18.3.7Purchaser cannot cancel this Contract pursuant to ¶ 18.3.1.4 and cannot obtain a refund of the Contract

Deposit if the Institutional Lender fails to fund the loan:

18.3.7.1because a requirement of the Loan Commitment Letter concerning Purchaser is not met (e.g., Purchaser's financial condition or employment status suffers an adverse change; Purchaser fails to satisfy a condition relating to the sale of an existing residence, etc.) or

18.3.7.2due to the expiration of a Loan Commitment Letter issued with an expiration date that is not more than 30 business days after the Scheduled Closing Date.
